Issue 32 · A Letter from the Agent
My grandfather built a cabin in Wimberley in 1978, back when the road was still gravel and the closest grocery store was twenty-two miles away. I spent every summer of my childhood there. I learned to swim in the Blanco River. I learned, eventually, that the Hill Country is not a luxury — it is a way of living that more Texans want than ever, and the houses that sell best are the ones that look like real life.
For ten years I have represented buyers and sellers across the Hill Country, and I have come to believe the work is mostly about pacing. The right home is rarely the first one shown. It is more often the third or the fourth — the one we walk through on a quiet weekday morning, where the light hits the porch in a particular way, where the seller has stories about every fence post. Those are the homes that stick.
So that is how I work. The properties on the Properties page are this season's. They are honest homes for honest budgets — first cabins, second homes, and family houses across the price range that most of my clients actually shop in. None of them require a private jet to find.
Until soon,
Margo
I work with buyers and sellers across a real range of price points — from a first cabin in Wimberley to a forever-home in Dripping Springs. The common thread is that I treat every transaction the same way: slowly, with care, and with the patience to find the right home rather than the convenient one.
I am not a high-volume team. I take a manageable number of clients at any given time, which means I actually return your call, walk a property at sunset when the light tells the truth, and stay involved through closing. The trade-off is that I cannot be everyone's agent — but the clients I do take get every bit of attention I have.
Hill Country real estate is, in the end, a referral business. Most of the people on this page came to me from people who came to me earlier. So if we are going to work together, the first conversation matters more than any of the others — and the first conversation is always free.
"I would rather lose a deal than rush a client into the wrong home. The Hill Country lasts a long time. The right home should too."
Tell Margo what you are thinking about. The first reply lands in a day or less.
